Reviews (page 13 of 14)
I have never been able to get into Jimi Hendrix. This album didn't change that. I am happy it exists, but it's not for me.
Maybe it's because I've only listened with one ear, but I feel like Hendrix's song writing really lacks substance and Coles off today as a cliche of it's own hippie themes. The talent of the musicians isn't really put forward by the production and the balance, despite the attempts at Beatles-esque expérimentation. The hits and highlights of the album still do underline Hendrix's talent which remains undeniable, but better serviced when covering other's music.
Niet mijn smaak
Nothing really wrong with this. I guess my expectations were higher on everything and I listened too critically with the inherent bias of listening to a guitar legend.
3/6 Was alright but not as good as Are You Experienced.
Går ju inte att underskatta hur mycket han påverkat all musik som innehåller en elgitarr, men för egen del så är det för konstigt psykadeliskt med en vibe jag inte alls begriper för njutbar lyssning. Om jag inte försöker vara diplomatisk så känns det mer som en techdemo än något som är kul att lyssna på. :fire:
Favorite Song: Little Wing
Clearly great if you like that sort of thing, but sadly I don't.
I've never been a massive Hendrix fan. This didn't do it for me. It feels like a product of its time TBH. Bit disappointed.
Fav: Little Wing Too much Talking, not as exciting as i thought it would be
Happy to hear but not my vibe
Not the easiest listen, only one or two songs I'd come back to.
Some superb guitar (as expected) and obviously a really experimental work but mostly not my thing. Far too often it descends into discordant noise. I much preferred Electric Lady Land.
Didn't care too much for this. Voice kinda sucks. Guitar is pretty cool but not very memorable to me
volevo mi piacesse. ma il genere psichedelico con sti suoni distorti mi irrita. o forse a irritarmi erano i problemi di fisica che stavo facendo con sto album in sottofondo
Meh
It was cool, great guitar riffs. But underwhelming as i unexpected because I’m not the biggest fan 60s
Good but dated, it's hard not to enjoy buuuuut I could be listening to something else
Boring as all hell and just a little mediocre and basic and mid af
Did not enjoy
L'album è sicuramente coeso, forse non di quelli che ho voglia di riascoltare.
Heb wel eens betere nummers van Hendrix gehoord
Not my favorite from Jimi. I really liked bold as love. I felt like I kept waiting for him to go crazy but I never really got it. Definitely felt like the late 60s rock. 3/13 songs saved. 1/13 saved to personal playlist
recognize the talent but not for me
It was good but every song that I thought I liked got too aggressive? For me?
fauvorite: bold as love
Ok
just wasn’t that special to me
i have to admit maybe i wasnt in the right headspace for this
The sound and style is undeniable but the songs just aren’t for me
This is is the stereo version of watching a film in 2009 then realizing the odd camera placement and focus on shit flying toward you is because it was a 3d film, with its aimless stereo shifting - Pointless and distracting as theater switches are not as revolutionary today. I've always found Jimi Hendrix so incredibly boring. He's got skills, yes. He's even got some hits. But this album has very little that is actually interesting on it. Finally after 3 songs I got interested 1/2 through Spanish castle magic Like Big Brother and the Holding Company there is too much let’s just jam and figure it out about this … ain’t no telling for example is all over the place Little wing is interesting , but a bit slow If 6 was 9 could almost be a Black Sabbath song at the start but then it goes astray But also a bit Gill Scott heron Wait till tomorrow is kind of funky and interesting but the mix is odd Like watching a mediocre sketch show - spotty quality and no one know how to end a song.
Started off by liking the rocking garagey stuff. Not so keen on the jazzy slowies. Nodded off halfway through.
not a fav
**An ok album
I respect Jimi's guitar playing ability and the tightness of his band and I know his playing has influenced so many other guitarists - I just don't find that I would want to actually go back and listen to most of these songs. His singing voice and lyrical content aren't really that interesting to me. Before listening, I had already "liked" Little Wing. It's a great song but too short. I did discover new songs that I like - such as Wait Until Tomorrow and Castle Made of Sand Liked songs on Spotify: 3/13 Rating: 2/5
I didn't hate it, but it was kinda meh.
He’s obviously incredibly skilled… but just not my taste
Idk not my type of music ig nice background noise and i respect the legacy but eeeeh
I’m too sober for this shit
not my cup of tea, não adorei as vibes e sons dissonantes, parece sempre a mesma música mas com ruídos diferentes
Ok, but not one of my favourites from him.
Oh boy expected to like this a lot more than I did
Some parts sounded nice but overall I didn't enjoy it. "Exp" - I hate this one. "Up From The Skies" - I don't like it. The music is too loud and I don't love how he is singing. "Spanish Castle Magic" - I don't like it. Guitar is amazing though. "Wait Until Tomorrow" - Didn't really like it. "Ain't No Telling" - Didn't really like. "Little Wing" - Didn't really like it. "If 6 Was 9" - No. "You Got Me Floatin'" - No. "Castles Made of Sand" - No. "She's So Fine" - No. "One Rainy Wish" - Like this one more. "Little Miss Lover" - No. "Bold As Love" - No.
"Exp" - this hurts "Up From The Skies" - terribly mixed, i hate his voice, not even a fan of the instrumental "Spanish Castle Magic" - i just don't like this but the guitar is amazing "Wait Until Tomorrow" - still not a fan "Ain't No Telling" - bruh "Little Wing" - better than the others "If 6 Was 9" - this was kinda cool until the end "You Got Me Floatin'" - i didn't pay much attention but i didn't like it "Castles Made of Sand" - "She's So Fine" - "One Rainy Wish" - this one's better "Little Miss Lover" - "Bold as Love" - the guitar is nice
Interesting music, not my style but very funky.
2. guitar and vocals are great
the first track gives me motion sickness, and the rest is low-key forgettable :(
I've heard so much about Jimi Hendrix over the years, I expected to like this more than I did! Maybe it's just not my album. It grew on me more on the second listen, but I'm not sure I'd come back to it. Known songs going in: 0 Rating: 2.5 Favourite song(s): You Got Me Floating or Castles in the Sand
No really iconic tracks on this collection, such as Hey Joe / Watchtower / Voodoo While I certainly prefer the albums before and after, its still good to have it pop up on the 1001 album challenge
Some classics but didn't like it as much as I thought I would
It’s no Are You Experienced! Fairly mediocre for me
3.7/10
Honrstly, not a Jimi Hendrix fan, this is completely forgettable.
I can hear that it could be good music, but it's clearly not what I like.
You know what? As classic as this is I just don’t think I like guitar god music
The only song I know at a glance is “You Got Me Floating” and that’s because PM Dawn covered it. Generally only know the huge Jimi hits, never listened to a full album. I’m not a guitar nerd. Let’s see how this goes. It’s fine. You Got Me Floatin’ is my pick. The rest of the album is meh. I guess hippie psychedelic rock isn’t for me.
It was okay. Not my vibe.
I thought I would like Jimi better based on how much I have heard about him but he just doesn’t do it for me I’m not sure why
Honestly did not vibe with this nearly as much as I expected. Electric Ladyland was much much better. I’d rather listen to the Jimi neutron theme song 13 times rather than this. Some cool guitar solos and would be pretty sick to see live, but I did not add a single song and will not be listening again. Appreciated the nod to 6ix9ine in the song “If 6 was 9”. 2.2/5
Pretty generic guitar wibbling. No standouts on this album
Still not really into Jimi, I wish I was but I can’t really connect with this on a deep level. Great musician but not my thing. Castles Made of Sand was my favorite of the bunch
Controversial! A few nice standout songs (One Rainy Wish my favourite), but generally I found a lot of these tracks quite dull - it seemed at least twice as long as the 39 minute runtime. The production was bothersome to me, with the stereo panning utterly irritating. 5/10
Jimi certainly has moments that I enjoy, and tasty fills here and there that I can appreciate. I think my problem with his music is that a lot of his songs sounds kind of the same. They have the same vibe and same guitar fills, with some variation here and there. My biggest gripe though is that his singing sounds bored and like he’s talk-singing. And it seems he crams multiple syllables in that doesn’t make sense with the rhythm. I can appreciate that it was sort of revolutionary at the time though and we wouldn’t have a lot of modern music if not for him.
4/10
hmm i didnt like this as much as i hoped to but im hoping to get into him more so id give it another try.
Pass
Guitars just sound better when they’re fuzzy and/or jangly! This album offers these ears very little. - 2/5 🌟
Não sei se entendi muito bem. Achei muito psicodélico.
If 6 was 9 stands out as the hit. Rest of the album wasn’t memorable to me.
It is bold to love anything related to Geometry.
I am sorry. Jimi Hendrix might be a legend but I am not impressed the first time I'm listening. Maybe I should give it a second try.
It was ok. Not really the type of music I like but I can appreciate the talent
It's ok, not as good as his other stuff, but fine if you like Hendrix
Okay, so I really like several Jimi Hendrix songs, but the ones in this album are a bit meh, so I can't really rate this 4 stars. It was overall a bit worse than meh, hence the lower rating, but it's pretty decent for when you're just listening to this in the background.
Boring psychedelic noodling. That's how I honestly felt listening to this. I've never really been into Hendrix though I appreciate his skill and influence.
Interesting, and I get why Hendrix is so popular, but it´s not my style. Not bad, just not for me.
Like most people, I like listening to Jimi Hendrix play the guitar. Unlike a lot of people, I don't like listening to his songs. Pretty much every guitar solo on this sounds great, but many of the songs are held back by clunky choruses or verses. It's telling that the song that's the most immediately enjoyable (though not the best!) is "She's So Fine," the only one he didn't write. Hendrix's songwriting is less polished, like he didn't know how best to work his guitar into the songs. The first few songs especially suffer from this, but the second half is much better. The closer succeeds as a psychedelic jam where precious songs failed, and "One Rainy Wish" is another highlight.
Maybe I’m just havin a bad week, but I really didn’t like this. The echo-y vocals were annoying in parts, and the screeching instrumental at the end of “If 6 Was 9” was unbearable.
love the opening track i really tried but i'm just not into this kinda music
I’ve never been a fan of Hendrix. The distortion grates on me. It’s an ok album, wouldn’t listen again.
Det är för mycket gnissel för min smak.
A hot take of mine has always been that besides the absurdly good Guitar, Hendrix isn’t that great. I don’t enjoy his vocals much. I love the guitar but oh well. I wish I enjoyed him and this more.
Closer to a jazz album than a rock album. Not my style of music but I can understand those who like it.
Did not like it
Ikke lige mig. Skær men fed i tro til gengæld
solid
A skilled musician but not for me.
Disappointing
i guess you had to be there
Yikes, I couldn’t get past the album cover, firstly. Secondly, it’s extremely meh. Some tracks were fine, but others were barely bearable. Safe to say, I do NOT get the hype.
I generously gave 'Are You Experienced' five stars for being an important album despite not really caring for it personally. I can't say this album feels as important, so the tide has rolled out on the rating...
This wasn’t as good as the first Hendrix album. There was some good things here. The overall album felt sloppy and disjointed. Left me disappointed now that I have a gauge as to Jimi’s true potential
Overrated
Quite dull, honestly.
I love me some Hendrix but when I say that I always listen to the hits. Listening to a studio album, I’ll be honest, massively disappointed. Apart from a couple of tracks it didn’t do anything for me at all. Top Track - If 6 Was 9
I've never been a fan of psychedelic rock, but this ain't half-bad. Didn't knock my socks off, but if I heard it again, I wouldn't be mad I did. I see why my Dad had a poster of this in the den when I was a kid.
ok
Ja, er kann Gitarre spielen, aber mir fast zu gut.
A technically really well made album, I just don’t think I’m a Hendrix person and that’s ok. Standout tracks on first listen: ain’t no telling, little wing
Okay. I must have listened to a different album. I have read a bunch of reviews telling me how wonderful this album is, with frequent mentions of different musical styles. All i hear is a bunch of riffs on The Wind Cries Mary, and all of them fairly flaccid imitations. Are You Expirienced is an incandescent bombshell that told us music would never be the same. Electric Ladyland was a masterpiece with a couple of filler tracks. Axis is all filler, no killer.
2.5
Soooooo samey , very boring . Wanted it to end
Never really understood Hendrix that much. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it.
Little wing
I know Jimi is a genius. I just don't enjoy listening to his music. A song here or there is fine, but a whole album is just not my thing. Castles Made of Sand is lovely.
Eipä ole Jimi koskaan ollut suosikkejani.
Niot as bad as I thought it would be.
Meh.
Song: little wing this song is good but not a lot of lyrics though but i guess it is good and it sounds longer when he sings it slow but i never heard of this song and it is a little weird Song: castles made of sand this song started okay at first like the guitar this song is good but it is very depressing music so i do not like it Song: one rainy wish this song at first to me was like beach vibes this song is my favorite in the whole album now when the lyrics go it was giving me fourth of july vibes
What is happening on the cover? "Little Wing" was pretty good. I liked it but it was nothing special, just a plain old song to me. " Castles Made of Sand" was okay. Again it was nothing special when you just listen to it. But when you really listen to the lyrics it is a sad song. "One Rainy Wish" was my favorite for no exact reason but it just sounded cool to me. Overall this album is a solid 3 stars and even though it 's pretty good I wouldn' t recomend this alum to anyone since it' s kind of boring.
Just ain't for me.
Second album proposé après 'Electric Ladyland' qui m'avais vraiment déçu. Ce second album n'est guère mieux : quelques morceaux intéressants et beaucoup de remplissage. Aucune envie de l'écouter de nouveau. =>2/5
Kinda meh, not really my vibe :/
I feel like I need a music bro to mansplain Hendrix to me because I don't really get the hype and I don't think this is the album that'll do it for me. I can appreciate the skill and the artistry and the overall vibe really gets me into that mindset where I can picture myself driving down an American highway in the sixties, probably high on something. But that's just it - it's more background music to me and I guess I'm the type of person who needs music to engage me, make me actively listen.
Castles made of sand and little wing doing a lot of heavy lifting on here
Bluesy with lots of guitar solos. This is not my cup of tea at all, style wise. I can see people really liking this album. Doesn't really grab me in any way. 2/5
Super weird intro. Plays a lot with sounds moving from side to side.
Heard bits of it before. I do respect Jimi (fellow leftie) but this album just doesn't click for me 2/5
2+ Stars (6/15)
Searching for a sound recquires quite a bit of noise.
I like the funkier bass sounds of the first couple songs, but the rest of the album was hard to pay attention to
Not to my liking! Have never got on with Jimi Hendrix and have not understood why he is regarded so highly. But then other people are entitled to their opinion!
i wish i was experimental enough to give credits and have something to say but actually it's not my cup of tea
I often heard a Best Of growing up as my mum likes him, but this is my first time actually listening to an album. A few massive tunes but not impressed overall, feels like there's a lot of filler
I didn't really like it. But then again I'm pretty particular with music. Just like, the vocals weren't very good/special and also the guitar wasn't that interesting. Some of the more African influences were interesting. Wouldn't listen to again. Songs I liked most were Castles Made of Sand and Bold as Love (good instrumental last minute).
Legende? Ja, mag sein. Heißt aber nicht, dass das jedem gefällt. Experimentell? Ja! Musik zum Genießen? Eher nicht!
Not a Hendrix fan
Too experimental for me. Although he's one of the greatest guitarists, I expected more vocals and fully produced music.
I'm sure he was good at the guitar and stuff, but this really isn't a great album.
Bit of a chore. Some attention grabbing songs like Spanish Castle Magic but ultimately not for me
I wasn’t a huge fan. I did like the use of stereo and making it sound like the music was all over the room, and sometimes circling you… but overall I give it 4.7/10 I guess I just don’t like messy electric guitar solos. But after hearing some of John Mayer’s covers of these songs, I just can’t listen to the original and like it as much or more… sorry Jimmy, John did it better IMO.
Up and down record. The standouts are Castles Made of Sand and Axis.
I don't think I appreciate high level guitar enough to really get this one, and the oft-imitated 60's cultural touchstones really catch for me. Definitely channeling "ratings are for personal taste and not quality assessments" thing today.
a little too abstract for my taste but i can admire his guitar skills
Unfortunately, I didn't vibe with this as much as I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, Hendrix was a spectacular guitarist, legendary. But a lot of the music here simply doesn't interest me. I've heard that "Little Wing" is one of Jimi's most enduring tracks. After my initial listen of the album, I went back and listened to the song four times in a row. The guitar in it is good, but I don't know... I tried, but didn't suck me in. If anything, I found myself drawn to the light touches of the glockenspiel. Perhaps it's just that these jams don't sound fresh to me, listening in 2025. I'm sure they were decades ago. I think my favourite track here is actually the most pop of the lot, "Wait Until Tomorrow". There's something about the steady beat and the vocal harmonies that stabilize the song, establish a point of focus, for Hendrix to run circles around. Ironically, I found it to be where his guitar work shone the most. At the end of the day, what I find interesting only shows up in snippets, and it's not an album I loved. Fav tracks: Wait Until Tomorrow, Castles Made of Sand, Bold as Love
Semmone
Bleh
Vähän liian rento alkuun. Bold as love on loistava. Muuten vähän tylsistyin.
Musically quite cool but boring and repetitive. I feel like everything from this era is going to be the same. I'm not doing an 8 hour trip on shrooms to enjoy a poxy 40 minute album
I appreciated some mean guitar playing, but I didn't think there was much in the way of good songs. I found this one quite ignorable.
Not as good as Taylor Swift
Some good songs but I think these Hendrix albums don’t have the same impact now as they did when they were first released and reviewed. Jimi’s techniques have been discovered and incorporated into everything - 50 years of other guitar players doing this kinda take the shine off the OG material
Little Wing is a fantastic song and Castles Made of Sand is really good. The rest, not so much. Jimi might’ve been a guitar god, but he was not a songwriting wizard
Obviously Hendrix’s guitar skills are undeniable, but some of the extra noises and effects added to a few of the songs are grating and I had to skip (example: EXP).
Lige gyldigt Hendrix. Jeg blev slet ikke fanget af noget her. Jo bevares guitar guden kan spille, men her var det bare ikke spændende..
I mean, it's good, but not my speed. A little noodly at points.
Could be worse, not really my thing.
It was okay. I liked some of the songs.
Thought maybe this would be more interesting because I was only familiar with Little Wing, and that was only due to a cover version on Layla by Derek and the Dominos. Alas, this was pretty blah, with short songs and so-so guitar work.
This was pretty meh tbh.
I understand that Hendrix is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time, but talent does not necessarily translate into listenability.
Great skill does not equal great music. Man, this just wasn’t for me. Couldn’t finish because I felt angry at wasting my own time.
little wing
Same as l'autre, très meh
Not an album I will enjoy going back to. Very forgettable, even though I like jimi hendrix
Early Hendrix...
Liked most of the tracks, but not all.
It‘s too annoying in its whole length that some few gems („Little Wing“) don’t make my low interest switch into awe.
2.5
The best Jimi Hendrix songs are actually Stevie Ray Vaughan songs
Little Wing is here, but not much more.
Not really something I liked, I appreciate the artistry though.
Not my cup of tea 2/5
Bland
This screamed difficult second album. Pleasant but noodly.
Very cool and I can appreciate the innovation of his sound. However, it rarely is a sound that I seek out - a bit too hard and a bit too chaotic
Dad kept turning it down
Wow, shouldn’t have listened to this first thing in the morning. It’s all a bit too heavy for me.
Not my thing…gave me a headache
Snoreeeeee
Classical Jimi Hendrix, just not fan
Very weird experience. Not a fan, although it can be a cool background music.
Nothing stood out
Is this a demo record? It feels like this is a group of rough ideas jammed out by a group of improvising musicians. The way some of the tracks fade out feels like the engineer took a 15 minute take and just cut it off when he got bored. I was expecting just to slap a 3 on some dated, middle-of-the-road 60's trash guitar rock, but this is actively a bad album.
Surprised how little I enjoyed this
Noy My kind of music
I wish I liked Jimi, just not technical enough and not soulful enough.
Sorry Jimi, I've never been the biggest fan. And this album didn't do anything for me 2 stars
Meh not quite my cup of tea
can shred tho could i write poetry to this? n
It was OK but I think its the weakest of his 3 albums. I admire his musical genius but just find his sound (especially his solos) a bit to raw and messy for me. This should be right in my wheelhouse alongside all the other late 60s psychedelic rock bands that I love, but its not. I think I'm probably a Jimi Hendrix 'Greatest Hits' kinda guy.
* Very unexpected intro to the album. Tbh, pretty grating on the ears. Safe to say that's likely going and staying at the bottom of the album rankings; will be very hard to beat I think. I wasn't sure if I should even include it, since most of it is dialogue. Does seem to have some "music" at the end though... and it is on the album so... * Don't have much to say about this one. Kinda blah album. Didn't end up earning a one star at the very least. -- Album Rankings -- 1. Little Wing 2. You Got Me Floatin' 3. Up from the Skies 4. Wait Until Tomorrow 5. One Rainy Wish 6. She's So Fine 7. Castles Made of Sand 8. Ain't No Telling 9. Bold as Love 10. Spanish Castle Magic 11. If 6 Was 9 12. Little Miss Lover 13. Exp
Don't mind a bit of Jimi H. A high 2.
Hendrix has done much better than this
A couple of tracks that made me get my groove on, but I think I was waiting for a Purple Haze moment that never came.
Eh, sure everyone’s very proficient but it just left me cold. I think it might have sounded better if I’d been on drugs…..
I can’t have listened to this since the mid-80s. A friend from back then had this album and it was good to hear it again. But sad to think he was singing lyrics “never to grow old”. Most of the tracks aren’t that memorable tho. EXP reminds me of The Carpenters’ “Calling Occupants” Favourite track - Little Wing
Not a big fan. Wasn’t my favorite. The guitar riffs were kinda cool but overall not my jam.
It was so-so.
Again surprised this album is on the list, Would hope "Are you experienced?" would be around instead of this album.
Eh. Not my type
dislike
Massvis med talang, men alldeles för ojämnt och experimentellt. Man får verkligen känslan att de bara ställt sig i studion och kört utan att anstränga sig allt för mycket. Stark tvåa
Bra grund men synd att även producenten tog syra. Hade kunnat vara så mycket bättre.
2.4
Gotta love Hendrix to like his albums
Ken zijn werk niet zo heel goed behalve de hitjes, maar had hier toch iets meer van verwacht eigenlijk.
Ikkje lika bra som Are You Experienced
Not too much my style. Voice is dim and drums loud.
Flashes of brilliance, but also lots of odd moments I did not enjoy. From what I’ve heard, Joni Hendrix is an artist I like listening to one song at a time rather than an album.
Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Decent but not a dent on his other work Favourite song: didn’t have one
Its Okay.
Možda dvije tri koje mi odgovaraju, ostale ne
Castles made of sand leuk natuurlijk, rest een beetje saai imo
Mäßiger Psychedelic Rock.
Not super impressed with this. It has a lot of 'they'll pay me to shit on stage' vibe. It takes over halfway through the album before anything really worth listening to comes on and that's after the song 'If 6 Was 9', which makes you want to turn the album off. Folks can give this one a pass.
Vibey for sure. Not my favorite for easy listening but very vibey
- Exp me ha hecho estallar los oídos, no ha sido un buen comienzo... - El disco en sí no está mal, pero no es mi estilo
mehh not my favorite
Castles made of sand is nice summer vibey song. I like the soft beginning of One Rainy Wish
очень сложно. имя этого музыканта известно, но как-то мимо как гитарист могу подметить музыку, но так выше 2 не могу, может 2+ и панорама моментами просто ужас
Si vabbeh Jimi Hendrix, ma su questo album riascolterei solo Little Wing. Per non parlare dell’intro rumorosa dell’album, mi innervosisce
Couldn’t get myself to listen to every song. It’s like either the guitar just doesn’t sound good or his lyrics don’t work with the instruments. Like the lines are too long and sound like he’s trying his best to make it work but it’s failing. Even if done intentionally, it’s just done poorly in my opinion
I liked some songs but then the homie just whips out the screechy guitar for no reason, even if it doesn’t match half the album. Funky Funky Sixties, huh?
Very familiar with the singles looking forward to the rest!
Didn't like it
Okay
Mjeh I dont really care for him.
Meh. A great guitarist but the songs are poor. I thought Little Wing was supposed to be a masterpiece? Vastly overhyped, it would get 2.5 stars if I could give it - but that option isn't available and I'm not prepared to round it up, so 2 it is.
Wasn’t crazy about this tbh. The style had me interested at first but as the album continues it just feels like a copy and paste of the same formula.
Feels like two albums: one thoughtfully written and the other a haphazard assemblage of guitar riffs and meandering melodic lines. One Rainy Wish is the only standout song and even it fails to deliver.
Hendrix isn't for me. Talented musician, but not certain he's a great songwriter.
2.75
A few good songs on here, but overall, the album is pretty slow and uninteresting. Tried listening to it a few times over but it just wouldn't keep my attention. Hendrix is amazing on the guitar, but overall, it just doesn't do it for me.
It’s okay
Couldn't keep my attention all the way through
that's too experimental for me...
I want so badly to like Jimi Hendrix, but he never sounds like I want him to. How's that for messed up
Another album is fine. I really feel like you need to be in the right setting to enjoy this kind of music. Not the best for the work day, but bliss relaxing/being social.
Excuse me while I diss this guy. I’m not a fan of Jimi Hendrix AT ALL. The only reason I’m not giving this a 1 (my “it shouldn’t have been included” rating) is because music critics and time clearly feel otherwise.
Sounds Like Jimi - Would I listen to this album again... prob not
Not as good as I thought it would be for a famous man
Take 1 star off for the almost 2 min noises in the first track.
Not my favourite Hendrix album
Left me a little cold. Spooky intro song though
even more trippy than "experience", not my jam, but I respect the innovation and expertise
Never been a massive Hendrix fan. The album is ok, but much prefer other artists from this era. 2/5
jimmi was never for me
Guitar obviously impressive, and often engaging. Lyrics are not as intelligent as they should be. Would not listen to a second time.
Good voice Good guitars Long songs Was hoping it was over and it was
Couldn't be bothered with this at all. It's just not my bag maaaannnnn.
2.5
Speciel intro. Hyggeligt nok, men tror ikke jeg vil lytte til det igen. Ikke lige min kop te tbh. Også lidt for rocket til mig
Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Spanish Castle Magic, Wait Until Tomorrow, Castles Made of Sand Cutting Edge: Bold as Love Overall Notes: Messy by design. Not the biggest fan of these classic electric guitar driven albums, so this isn't really my thing. Seeing that Little Wing had over 180 million streams shocked me. 2.5 that I'll round down because some of these songs are borderline unlistenable.
boring
Don’t listen with headphones (also while not baked) as it makes you feel sick. 2/5
Alot going on with that cover. Enjoyed the guitars but thought the songs lacked hooks and melodies. For someone so legendary i was left a little dissapointed. 2/5
No coneixia aquest disc de Hendrix. És innegable la seva aportació al rock i la seva gran perícia amb la guitarra. Tot i així, aquest àlbum m'ha deixat una mica indeferent. He trobat a faltar algun hit més clar, temes més concrets i directes. Crec que Jimi Hendrix té millors àlbums que aquest.
Nice to hear a few tracks but as a whole album, not for me
Mucha textura, un par de canciones interesantes, parece ensayo para lo que hizo en discos más adelante. Lo más interesante Little Wing, If 6 was 9, Little Miss Lover.
Nope. Who thought any of these backing vocals were tolerable? EXP is also a really rough start. Little Wing carries a star... Bold as Love and One Rainy Wish helps. I can leave the rest.
2.5 - Little wing and a lot of filler
Mucha textura, un par de canciones interesantes, parece ensayo para lo que hizo en discos más adelante. Lo más interesante Little Wing, If 6 was 9, Little Miss Lover.
Me, looking at album art: My gods, what am I getting into.
No
Just don’t get Jimi Hendrix at all. Was boring
It’s okay
Sauvegardé aucun titre,ressenti aucune émotion. Je comprends que ça puisse plaire aux guitaristes puristes mais aucun intérêt perso. La seule chose que j'ai bien aimée sont les effets mono/stéréo, intéressants au casque.
On the one hand, you could argue that what Hendrix did was unique, original and genre-defying - genre-creating, even. But on the other hand, you could argue that it was, well, awful. I'm in the latter camp. Although I totally understand his influence, and appreciate just how talented he was, I find everything by him pretty much unlistenable, screechy, mumbly, drivel. It's conflicting because pretty much every record I like that's been released since, say, 1970, has probably been influenced in some way by Hendrix and his relationship with the guitar, but there's something about his records that just activates my defence mechanism. The walls go up, and I can't listen to it. It all just sounds like he's making it up as he goes along - every song sounds like a soundcheck. Yes, even THOSE ones. Maybe that's the charm. Maybe I'm just a terrible, terrible person but I listened to most of this record and remain unconvinced. Thank god he existed though otherwise my record collection would sound pretty different. He can have one star for that.
Not my cup of tea. It was like someone scratching a blackboard with a fork.
Pitääkö Hendrixiä diggailla koska hän on legenda? Vaikka musa ei lähde ja aika on puraissut todella pahasti? Ehkä en osaa suhtautua tähän koska en ole kitaristi. Ehkä tämä on kitarapornoa. Mulle ei tipu ollenkaan. Rasittava ja tylsä kokonaisuus. 1/5
Didn't appeal to my taste
favs: little wing if 6 was 9 one rainy wish rating 1/5
bloated and boring
pas tout écouté mais bon
Terrible. Hated basically all the songs
Not for me. Chaotic and hard to listen to.
Fue raro, era como inspirado en una alucinación de los 70 - 80
Dull. Hardly any track that isn't a jam gone wrong? I expected a lot from this, bitterly disappointed.
Albumet inleds med en humoristisk (låt?) (Exp). Låten låtsas likna ett radioprogram som handlar om UFO:n. Albumets första riktiga låt (up from the skies) inleds med en hotfull ton som övergår till en känsla av saknad genom låtens gång. (wait until tomorrow) inleds med en flykthistoria som övergår till prokrastinering sedan svek. Albumets sista låt som är döpt till samma namn som Albumet självt är en oväntad positiv överraskning. men med det sagt så finns det vissa guldkorn i albumet såsom den första och den sista låten, förövrigt upplever jag detta album som lite lätt "flummigt" så att säga.
not really my taste personally. really cool vibes though.
pior que não curti
geen enkele hit
Appreciate the vision but for me more of a motion sickness. But im not a guitar fanatic.
not gonna listen to this as i dont like him
I found that the genius of Hendrix was not really on display here.
the late 60s and the 70s...they're just not my time period. please...take me to a different decade...PLEASE IM BEGGING U sometimes i'd read the lyrics in advance and think the song might be promising because the words were appealing, pretty, etc. - but no. it's always painful, a borderline cacophony of unpleasant sounds this isn't AS bad as the replacements album, but i have to give it one star because i found it actively aversive to listen to
Not for me. 1/5
Not my cup of tea
Ongegeneerd
Lowkey underwhelming.
NO AGAIN GIVE ME DECENT ALBUMS WHAT IS THIS
Great guitarist. Sound of the 60’s.
Not my album, way too much Hendrix.
Second most overrated band of all time
I don't like this song because the death was not that good. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this song because it's sad. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this song because the beat is not that good. I would not recommend this song.
I don't like this because it very old type music and because I dont like the melody. I would not recommend this to someone else because I don't think they would actually like it and want to listen to it. I give it 1 star.
I don't like it its not a song I would listen too on a Daily basis. the second one I don't like cause I wouldn't listen to it cause its deppressing it kinda has a long intro and the lyrics I don't really like . the third song I don't like ethier its not my type of music I would listen too
don't like it
Favourite tracks: Rainy Wish Bold as Love
Bad vocals. Songs are iconic, but dated. SRV does Jimi better than Jimi.
Nah
not my music genre sorry
Horrible screeching in the first song is time I will never get back.
Niets voor mij
lame
the first track gave me bad vibes ima be honest
No
